Global Warming Disaster as Thousands of Harp Seal Pups
Perish
http://www.truthout.org/issues_06/032807EA.shtml
Thousands of harp seal pups are assumed dead in Canada's
Gulf of St. Lawrence due to the lack of ice floes, which
mother seals require to give birth and nurse their pups
successfully. Experts with IFAW (International Fund for
Animal Welfare) have been carrying out daily
surveillance flights over the region. They report that
the Gulf of St. Lawrence, which is the annual birthing
ground of hundreds of thousands of harp seals, is
essentially devoid of both ice and seals.

pass the Equal Rights Amendment, reviving a feminist
goal that faltered a quarter-century ago when the

Paul Waldman | Scaring the Pants off Men
http://www.truthout.org/issues_06/032807WB.shtml
"Last week saw Al Gore's triumphant return to Capitol
Hill - the once-ridiculed candidate now acknowledged as
a visionary and treated with long-overdue respect. But
the most remarkable moment of Gore’s hours of testimony
in both houses may have been one in which he wasn't even
involved. It shined a light on both the changed
atmosphere in Washington today, and the fear and
loathing that that change is bringing on," says Paul
Waldman.

is concerned about long-term morale because the military
lacks money to hire enough nurses and mental health
specialists to treat thousands of troops coming home
from Iraq and Afghanistan.

Unwittingly, America has returned to its pre-American
Revolution, feudal roots whereby all land is held by a
sovereign and the common people had no rights to hold
allodial title to property. Once again, We the People
are the tenants and sharecroppers renting our own
property from a Sovereign in the guise of the Federal
Reserve Bank. We the people have exchanged one master
for another. ."
